our desolations
State of utter desolation, ruin, or wasteland, often the result of catastrophic action or neglect. Used for both literal devastation of land, cities, or buildings and, in more figurative extension, for profound bewilderment or horror at calamity. It primarily denotes a place made uninhabitable, stripped of normal life or function, but can connote the effect of such ruin on observers.

SIBI-P1 Translation H8077-06
our desolate-ones
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, feminine plural construct + 1st common plural suffix |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle of a stative verb expresses a state of being desolate; in the feminine plural construct with a 1st common plural suffix, it denotes "desolate ones of us" or "our desolate-ones." This preserves both the stative force of the root and the plural possessive morphology. |
